Consider the system of linear equations as shown below. x+2y+32=2 x+3y+6z2=4 2x + 6y + 11lz=6 The equation form of the above matrix is AX = B 12 8 xr 2 where A= |1 3 6],X= |y| and |4 2 6 11 Zz 6 Note, the Gaussian elimination method is known as the row reduction algorithm for solving linear equations systems. It consists of a sequence of operations performed on the corresponding matrix of coefficients.
